Welcome to the C++ Game Programming Resource Center. We're adding a new chapter on game programming to C++ How to Program, 6/e. This resource center includes many great C++ game programming resources we found online as we started our research. You'll find free C++ game programming libraries, toolkits, open source game engines, tutorials, forums and more. In the C++ Game Programming Resource Center you'll find links to:

The article, "Why C++?" by Kyle Wilson, that discusses why C++ is the best language for game programming.

Several game programming forums where you can chat with other developers, including the C++ Game Programming Group on Google Groups.

Resources for game programmers including Game Developer Magazine, Gamasutra and the International Game Developers Association.

Conferences including The Game Developers Conference, the IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment and the ACM SIGCHI International Conference on Advances in Computer Entertainment Technology.
